In 2009, I wrote a post entitled "The Civic Impact of College," in which I opined that studies showed that there was practically an inverse relationship between the level of education one has attained and the likelihood of civic involvement after graduation. At the time, I was making the point that studies showed that homeschoolers were more likely to participate in the political process later in life.

A few years after that, I updated it with new information and it became "What College Graduates Don't Know About America." While it was one of the most depressing things I ever wrote, it was my most popular post ever. This emphasized American students' ignorance of American history and our form of government

Some updated information has come to my attention that does not make me feel any better about the state of modern higher education, or any education.

It does not appear that students are learning very basic things about our country at any stage of their education.

I have been online a long time, and am active in social media and other arenas. I am supposedly "influential," if you believe any of the measures of this sort of thing.

It is time to use my influence to talk about something REALLY important. Not home schooling. Not home business. But something real, that for all the talking about it still leaves its victims feeling isolated, judged, and alone.

It has been almost exactly three years since I wrote in this blog! It is amazing how easy it is to get out of the habit of writing and just abandon something that was all consuming for years. I guess I stopped writing when I stopped homeschooling.I focused more on the homeschooling side of this blog and not so much on the home business side. I guess I was afraid of being too "salesy" and seeming like I was just trying to sell something.But homeschoolers are almost always single income families, and as such, are in need of a supplemental income, or a Plan B for retirement, or both. So I have really been remiss in not recommending Strong Future International. It was one of the first home businesses I ever tried, and it has been a reliable source of supplemental income for me for nearly 14 years.
